6” Shad Swimbait

6” Shad Swimbait – Gizzard Shad 

The 6-inch Shad Swimbait is designed to imitate one of the most common and effective baitfish across freshwater systems — the gizzard shad. With a realistic profile, natural swimming action, and slow-sinking build, this bait draws hard strikes from bass that key in on large forage. The Gizzard Shad colorway offers subtle flash and contrast, perfect for both clear and slightly stained water.

• Realistic Shad Look: Custom-painted Gizzard Shad finish with natural silver and pearl tones.

• Natural Swim Action: Steady, rolling movement that mimics the smooth pulse of live baitfish.

• Slow-Sinking Design: Keeps it in the strike zone longer for following or suspended fish.

• Strong Hardware: Heavy-duty split rings and sharp hooks for confident hooksets.

• Versatile Performer: Excels around points, ledges, and open-water structure.

🕐 When & Where to Use

The 6” Shad Swimbait shines from spring through fall, especially when bass are feeding on shad or chasing bait schools. Best fished in clear to slightly stained water near points, creek channels, and open-water drop-offs. A slow, steady retrieve gives it a natural swim that fools even the smartest fish.

👉 Big bait, big profile, big results — when they’re chasing shad, this is the one.
